Found this video on loading of auto racks. When I pictured the loading of these, I figured they did them one at a time. I had no idea they drove through all the cars. Anyway I thought it was neat , and I learned something.

Every once in a while a driver will crash one of the cars.
I used to drive the new 1973 Thunder Birds, Mark IIIs and Lincolns out of the Wixom, MI plant and park them for loading onto carriers.
 
Some plants do move cars around and load them one at a time for safety, but others load full strings. The cars are designed to work this way.
